I've done this in Fedora and RHEL6 for some time, and RHEL7 seems to
work just fine.  Just remember that "NM_CONTROLLED=no|false" setting
to keep NetworkManager from claiming it.

I've actually had few issues with using static entries, even Bridges,
with NetworkManager in newer Fedora, and it seems to work with RHEL7.
I think the big deal is to use NetworkManager and let it up for you,
than try to modify things outside of it.

I haven't extensively attempted VLANs in NetworkManager though.

school, Bortles had the size and the arm to play at a more
prestigious program.  UCF likewise has the market size and the
talent base to play in a more prestigious conference than the
American Athletic.  But timing and circumstances conspired to put
both where they are now." -- Andy Staples, CNN-Sports Illustrated
